SSgt. Wayne T. Fuson (Rt.) and wife, Deborah Ann Fuson of Cabot, Arkansas are spending Christmas here with her mother, Louise Frazier and family in Smithville.

DeKalb County should say "Many thanks" to Elizabeth Chapel Baptist Church for having and presenting the musical, live Christmas tree, for people to enjoy during the Christmas season. It was beautiful and we appreciate everyone who had a part in its presentation.

Special get-well wishes go to Lisa Cripps, who is ill with some congestion in her head and lungs. Best wishes go to Lisa.

Henry and Natalie Frazier, Huntsville, Alabama will be hosting a Christmas dinner Saturday at their beautiful country home for all the Frazier families at 6 p.m. There will be games for the young children.

Prayer list: Bobby and Mary Joines, our military forces, Harold and Faye Elrod, Joe and Carolyn Dickey, Don and Peggy Beasley, Ben Herman, Mae Risner, Garry Mullican, Ella Mae Jennings, Jason Waggoner, Pat Wallace, Cindy Faircloth, Rosie Young, Betty Lane, Sarah Walker, Linda Fuston, Hartford Lewis, Donald Hitchcock, Jimmy and Lou Ann Midgett, Jean Clayton, Diane Hudson, John Malone, the Wright family, Terrell family, Corley family, Louise Frazier, and our pastor, Bro.
